Qazi Shihab ud din Dolat Abadi (d 849 h) said:
وما يفعله الجهال على رأس كل حول وشهر ربيع الأول ليس بشىء ويقومون عند ذكر مولده صلى الله عليه وسلم ويزعمون ان روحه يجيء و حاضر فزعمهم باطل وهذا الاعتقاد شرك

On the start of year and in the month of Rabi ul Awwal in the name of Mawlid of peace be upon him Ignorants do something which is nothing(i.e these things have nothing to do with Islam). They claim that his (peace be upon him) soul comes and (he peace be upon him is) present. This is False and this creed is shirk.[Majmoo Fatawa Qazi Shahab ud din 1/27]

Note: He (أحمد بن أبي القاسم عمر الزاولي شهاب الدين الدولة آبادي الهندي الحنفي ) was one of the great muftis of ahnaf, and he was Judge as it can be seen in the books سبحة المرجان فى آثار هندوستان page no: 39 and نزهة الخواطر) Same statement is in the book تحفة القضاة

Allamah Allusi al-Hanafi Rahimullah mufti of Baghdad refuted deviants Under the Qur'anic Surah 22, verse 78 he says:

ومنهم من يثبت التصرف لهم جميعا في قبورهم لكنهم متفاوتون فيه حسب تفاوت مراتبهم والعلماء منهم يحصرون التصرف في القبور في أربعة أو خمسة وإذا طولبوا بالدليل قالوا : ثبت ذلك بالكشف قاتلهم الله تعالى ما أجهلهم وأكثر افترائهم ومنهم من يزعم أنهم يخرجون من القبور ويتشكلون بأشكال مختلفة وعلماؤهم يقولون : إنما تظهر أرواحهم متشكلة وتطوف حيث شاءت

And among them are those who affirm that they all have the right of disposal (tasarruf) in their graves and that, however, they are different in that (in their ability of tasarruf) according to the differences in their statuses. And the 'ulama among them enumerate the right of disposal in the graves into four or five, and when they are asked for proof they say: 'That was established through kashf'. May Allah Most High fight them! How great is their ignorance and lies. "And among them are those who claim the saints can leave their graves and take different shapes. And their 'ulama say their souls appear in different shapes and travel wherever they wish.

Abdul Hai Lakhnawi Hanafi was asked

Question: What is the stance for that person who believes that Auliyah knows and they can listen the one who is invoking from far and near and he talks with them(auliyah) like he is talks with the person who is present and he makes vows for them and says that i made vows for them(auliyah)

.

Answer: The Creed of this person is Invalid in fact there is a danger of Kufar because listening of Invocations by Auliyah is not proven and in all the periods it is speciality of Allah that he has all the knowledge of unseen for all the things, It is mentioned in Fatawah Bazaziyaah

""And one becomes a kafir with the statement that the souls of the mashaykh are present, and knowing"." and same book says

"If someone married by making Allah and his Prophet witness he is kafir because he thought that Prophet has a knowledge of Unseen. And vows are prohibited if they are for others then Allah. And the vows which has been made is also Prohibited like it is mentioned in Durre Mukhtar and Bahr Al Raiq and Allah knows best
